Happy Thaipusam!

@gbsaint: welcome. Is the TDR referring to the motorcycle model, or the block brand? I vaguely recall Shark block not as reliable, but most of us here have no experience with aftermarket blocks. Major mod is manifold and exhaust. Next one is topset.

@gbsaint: Charge&Go have experience. I think in V4. He also sleeved the block, but so far haven't update us on how that went... he's been busy.

@patrickloo: Good for loose chain so it won't swing sideways and damage the sprockets. Good also if you do offroad with the bike, like motocross.

@bizzy:
I think they're talking about engine bearing here. In this case, it's only ball bearings. Bearings in general used to allow two surface to move at different direction with minimal friction. Example the crankshaft to spin while mounted onto the bearing inside the engine block, or the tire to spin while attached to the wheel shaft.
For normal application, higher speed use ball bearing, higher load use taper bearing, but taper bearing cause higher friction at high speed.

For race bearing, there are few things to improve in terms of material:
1. Fibre cage - to replace the normal steel cage that holds the bearings. The bearing and the roller cage is still using steel. SKF use TN9 as product code.
Refer: http://www.skf.com/portal/skf/home/product...&newlink=1_1_11

2. Ceramic bearings or ceramic coated bearings. Lighter, higher heat resistance, but max lower load than steel bearings. Example: SKF Enduro product line.
Refer: http://www.skf.com/portal/skf_id/home/prod...=192009&lang=en

Refer: SKF Bearing numbers for your Yamaha bikes - I think Jupiter is for LC:

@serigala: Enduro is designed for Indonesia market. Explorer is more common application with wider range of bearing numbers available. Enduro has the Enduro(+) with full ceramic. This is the one you should get for best performance.

@shapa106: I think it's spanner size 15, 17 and 12 (for the chain adjustment).

@riderz135: This is a forum. So since you new, intro a bit yourself, how long you own the bike. Can tell us more about your bike maintenance? Anything happen before the bike like that? Anything that you've checked before? Spayz is right, we cannot do crystalball to tell what's wrong with your bike based on the description that you just gave... Have you checked the choke to make sure it's closed? Are you a bike noob?

Bike: km: RM: Sen/km
RGV: 100: 5.13: 5.13
Tony: 748: 100.5: 13.43
DevilVanc: 85: 5: 5.88

I need a lambda or oxygen sensor... to tune my bike for optimum AF ratio. Anyone got one lying around?

wah, you all tembak our new friend here so teruk?
welcome to sakai4badminton.

He say fastest is 150, maybe during downhill leh? 128cc and 135cc not much difference, and I think on a good day, it is possible.

I went to find GT128, and got their forum page: http://www.gt128riders.com/forum/
Not bad I think, make friends, have gatherings, merry merry... talk bike talk. We should do something like this. hahahaha... after our round island TT do BBQ.

@zelk: I think your bike also faster than my RGV, right ah? Or haven't really test yet?

Added on January 26, 2011, 11:53 pmOh ya, GPS speed also need a few seconds to calibrate one. So, maintain at the speed, get a few readings every few seconds, and average out.

@sakai4badminton: if i go there, I'll sure to post here, then maybe we meet up.

@zelk: didn't really get ur TS that time, I had a headstart in front, and by the time we stopped, you are just behind. Some more that time carb haven't set.

@Aaron: I don't think tunduk makes different to my TS, since you know i'm skinny like french fries... but when the headwind too strong, then have to. Which is also why I think I can reduce rear sprocket to bump the TS a bit more. See how.

@sakai4b: If FC, Honda is generally better. If ride above 110kmh, highway FC for both my bikes are better than FZ.

okok, test speed use GPS. We all maintain 90kmh, and see how. Ok?
Good night all.

Btw, got my Amsoil 10W-40 from C&G liao...

That one usually don't come longgar one, else it's because the screw switched to wrong size.

It's called a fork boot.

Happy Chinese New Year everyone... I hope you all celebrate it one way or the other.
Firecrackers are plenty and palm tree fireworks are plenty at my hometown.

Cheers!!! *klink

hi, did you check under the mudguard to see got tyre damage there to confirm this?

When you or your friend accident, does the brake lever soft like pressing a sponge, or does it press and stops at a point when the brake makan?
